Preventing Falls in the Bathroom
Wet floors, sharp edges, and hard surfaces make a dangerous and too often deadly combination in the most commonly used area of every home in the country.
Studies have shown that for the 65 and older population falls account for approximately 60% of all injury-related emergency department visits and 50% of injury-related deaths annually. At least 80% of falls in the home occur in the bathroom. These fall-related injuries range from minor bruises and scrapes to broken bones and spinal cord injuries.
Most falls in the home occur while seniors are transferring in and out of the tub or shower.
Milestone Shower & Bath can transform your existing bathroom into a safer, more secure environment with relative ease. Transform your bathroom's safety features that range from safety grab bars to fold-out seats and benches to walk-in tubs.
We can help you to reduce the risk of bathroom falls with just one visit from one of our in-home designers.
